[Do you know if it matters if they have already been signed up for WIC or can they tell that in the system?

If the child previously had WIC, then, yes, he should be in the state database and the process should be a lot shorter to get the 1st appt/1st checks. In fact, if child had WIC previously and former foster parent had a scheduled appt coming up, then you should be able to get that appt slot.
If not and you have an infant, you can ask your agency to give you a can of formula or to give you a voucher for one. My agency doesn't do this, but some do. Also, you can check CraigsList. In my county, there are often free cans (unopened) posted.
